Bud Comer is 65 year old and has been a resident of Nebraska since 1966. He has loved art his entire life. He was particularly fond of pencil drawings and still does them for friends or when he sees something that arouses his urge to draw. He became interested in oil painting in the 80's watching Bob Ross on PBS every Saturday. When he died in the 90's he lost interest. Then Netflix offered old videos in the 2000’s and it sparked his interest again. Bud took some classes at Metro Tech then went to New Smyrna Beach FL and became a CRI (Certified Ross Instructor) in 2017. He’s been teaching since then on and off until now. I'm retired and have increased my painting and looking forward to bringing the Joy of Painting to everyone.
